Standing Quarter

My wife went to the Co-op last night to get some groceries, and she got a
SLQ in her change. Why the cashier didn't notice it was different from the
rest, I don't know. The only thing I can figure is, she probably thought it
was a Canadian quarter.

Unfortunately the date is gone, so I have no idea what year it was minted.
Still all in all cool find :-) I'll put it in my new type album I just got
from Larry (next project, type set)

Isn't the SLQ identifiable by the length of the skirt line? 1916 only (if I am
not on Quaaludes) Mike

according to the Red Book, in 1917 the breast was covered and the reverse
had a new arrangement of stars and the eagle moved higher. I know the coin
is between 1916 and 1924, because in 1925 a depression was made in the
pedestal for the date. The one I have looks good except the date is totally
gone.

Didn't you notice, it is a 1916!

Oh, yes I see that now. The breast is bare, in fact so is the rest of her
body ;-)

Actually you can. The 1916, along with the 1917 Type 1, has no stars under the
eagle on rev. If there are stars, and I'll bet there are, it ain't a 1916.

Congratulations!

That is one coin I have never gotten in change. (I'm 45.)

I've been given silver Roosevelt dimes and Mercs. I've been handed wheat
cents and Buffalo nickels, silver Washingtons and Kennedys. But never
in my life has a cashier or card dealer handed me an SLQ.

Has anyone else in the ng ever obtained an SLQ in commerce? Either in
change or in a roll?

Once, as a child in the 1960's. Don't recall the exact year. It was a heavily
worn 1918 S that I convinced myself was the overdate. It's still in a 2x2 with
1918/7-S written on it in third grade handwriting.

Thanks, Alan.

When my wife gave it to me my heart started to beat fast, then I saw no
date. Still it blew me away that it could be in circulation.

I saw them frequently when I started collecting in the early 1950's,
along with the occasional Barbers and Indian cents. Unfortunately, I
was focused on Lincolns at the time and didn't consider the others worth
saving since they appeared often. Plus, my 25=A2 allowance didn't permit=

me to save anything other than pennies.
